They last appeared on screen together in the 1997 hit movie My Best Friend’s Wedding.

And now 16 years later, Julia Roberts and Dermot Mulroney will grace the big screen alongside one another again, this time in August: Osage County.

The duo had a reunion on the red carpet at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) premiere for the film on Monday, although their co-star Meryl Streep missed out due to illness.

However, Julia, 45, provided the glamour in an embroidered red Dolce & Gabbana mini dress complete with bell sleeves which she paired with nude peep toe shoes and a clutch bag.

Julia’s hair was pulled back in a simple upstyle and she flashed her trademark wide smile for fans and photographers.

 

Meanwhile, Dermot, sporting longer than usual hair, wore a dark suit with a purple shirt.

Co-star Juliette Lewis was glamorous in a striking pale gown as she attended the special screening of the movie, while Little Miss Sunshine’s Abigail Breslin looked all grown up in a bright corset dress and denim jacket.


The blonde actress plays the pot smoking daughter of Julia’s character in the movie. 

Ewan McGregor was handsome in a black suit and white shirt as he joined his co-stars for the movie premiere.

While Meryl couldn’t make it, a previously released trailer shows her and Julia going head to head in the film, which revolves around a dysfunctional family who gather together in Oklahoma after the suicide of family patriarch Beverly.

Julia plays Barbara Weston, daughter of  Violet, the cancer stricken sharp tongued family matriarch.

Co-produced by George Clooney and Grant Heslov, the trailer features the actresses sparring, with one piece of dinner table footage especially dramatic. 

The drama is based on the Pulitzer-Prize winning play by Tracy Letts which made its Broadway debut in 2007.
